How Can I undo this? - cpikey316_ - 15-08-2012

Red circle nut! Ive soaked it in WD40, no luck, putting lots of force on it, only warps the plastic on the other side (which i've now done to both)

Ive tried putting needle nose pliers on the the funny flat (blue) part, but no luck!

Can anyone help/give any suggestions?

Have you tried a lot of shouting and swearing at it? I hear that works well

Pair of mole grips on the end of the shaft and undo with a spanner, just enough to then get the grips on the flat bit

dont have mole grips Sad I need more tools

Cutting the nut off with a hacksaw now

get up, unzip trousers, pull down boxers, lean back and then lunge forward and Dick smash it was the force of 1000 suns

Try heating up the nut with a blowtorch, obviously being careful not to melt the plastic, then douse it in WD40, then more heat, and repeat till it frees off. If you try cutting the nut off, you will most likely ruin the thread on the stud.

Its not a visible part at all (the nut and thread im trying to get off will be hidden behind the bumper.

New plan is a cheapo angle grinder. Been hacksawing for about 20 minutes and not even done half of it!!

Snap the plastic then glue it back together once youve removed the nut.
